The First Day of Winter….Wait, I Mean Spring!

by emilyrconner on March 20, 2013

Well, I have to say this sounds familiar. On September 22nd I posted something similar. It does show that it has been a long winter. As of March 2oth, the first day of spring, we have lots of snow and ice everywhere. Here are some pictures to give you an idea.

That is a lot of snow for the end of March. And while I wouldn’t mind wearing a breezy skirt instead of long johns, or going barefoot instead of heavy boots, and while I would like to take a bike ride where I don’t have to worry about people whipping out on the ice, that is not the case today. So, on this first day of spring, I will take the advise of the Buddhist monk Thich Nhat Hanh who said “The present moment is filled with joy and happiness. If you are attentive, you will see it. So I choose to see it!
